About 3 feet away from the fence |
Farleys Rusks, Matchbox Hot Wheels cars, Feast ice cream, Play-Doh/Plasticine, Sesame Street...
Also a Commodore 64 but that's very late 80s for me, I associate it more with the 1990s |

"The cars, definitely the cars.
Lamborghini
Aston Martin
Ferrari
Bugatti
Jaguar
Citreon (just kidding)  "
I couldn't include Aston in that list, as I was never keen on the 70's/80's Vantage or DBS. Too muscle car-y for my liking, and the DB7 mostly came from the F*rd perts bin. |

I know they weren't the best machines, but beautiful muscle cars. Far better than the yank versions of the time. |

I disagree. The V8 Vantage Zagato was an 80s classic. |

I get your point, but after the beauty of the DB5/6... |

"about the 80s?
For me it's the music and the car's although some of the movies were ok too. "
G'day OP,
I was born and grew up in Sydney so for me it was just hanging out with my mates at the beach for 9 months of the year.
They were really good times,

Ok. But I veto fluorescent cycling shorts and jelly shoes. And no bumbags! |

"The commodore 64.
Unreliable. Slow. Cumbersome"
Did you see it's competition though?
The Amstrad CPC ran at about 4 frames per second the moment there's more than 2 colours on screen, and had a built-in tape deck which meant you had to basically replace the entire computer when the tape drive malfunctioned. This is how Alan Sugar made his millions 
And the ZX Spectrum was at the other extreme, where it came with ZERO peripherals...not even built-in joystick ports, and everything went through flimsy expansion ports at the back. It didn't even have an off-switch. To turn it off you basically unplugged it at the mains.
Commodore 64 was luxurious compared to these |

The deregulation of advertising restrictions to children by reagan administration politician, mark fowler.

The was something charming about the spectrum, with its black and white style graphics..I went round to my neighbours who had one, a lot. Possibly preferred it to the commodore even. |

"The yamaha dx 7 synth."
Don't let Jean Michel Jarre hear that. Yes, I know how common it was, but that's like saying Stock Aitken and Waterman are great because they saturated the charts in that decade. |

Die cast metal transformers, not plastic imitations. |

The porn was cool , it was really hard to get hold of so when you did get a porno video you certainly became popular, never mind the dodgy copy with lines running through the middle of the picture |

I just loved the clubs in Brighton.
If I wanted to shake my disco shit there was The Suite, or Pink Coconut.
If I wanted comedy, art, coffee, and Alternative music and dancing there was The Zap, or Sister Ray's.
If I wanted to shake my shit to the Communards and Weather Girls and politely disappoint the gay guys who wanted my bumhole, it was Manhattan's.
And Wham! was played in all of them.
A lot of fun for a 16-19 year old  x |

In the 80s they discovered the formula for making family-friendly films that were equally popular with every age-group - Ghostbusters, Gremlins, Back To The Future, Indiana Jones, etc. And then in the 90s they lost it and with the occasional exception we never really got it back. |
